i would have thought so, but from the original post it would seem they were outside Green Party HQ protesting against carbon taxes.Originally Posted by Cael
I imagine the carbon tax element of the protest was in regard to the Greens helping to make toll roads like the M3 more profitable.Originally Posted by myk
Well, sorry to disappoint you. Another recent protest was linked to on the Facebook cause, which took place outside the Department of Finance, so your ant-Green theory appears to be way off.Originally Posted by myk

I understand your reaction to the idea of an environmental group opposing carbon taxes, at first glance. I think the issue TW are raising is that it is absurd for the Greens to prioritize carbon taxes over cutting spending of billions on mechanisms that will simply produce more carbon, and more penalties...in light of the massive loss in Government revenue this year and probably for years to come. The NDP was based on over 4% growth, and now we are into minus 2.5 from what I gather. There are going to be changes to Transport 21 and the NDP. The issue is where. Carbon taxes are tangential to the real problem.
These riches you speak of, where can i get my allotment? Can you give further details of their fabulousness? To date I've not received a penny, and I'm not happy.Originally Posted by Anticoalition

Hmmm... I don't blame you. Let's start with the Ministerial positions, Senate seats for county councillors, and untold number of consultants and advisors, like Healy and O Bhrolchain that are being paid for with taxpayers money, rather than Green Party funds.Originally Posted by Eddiepops
Is it not always surprising how base people assume everyone in government is? The idea that John Gormley, a decent man, is in politics to make money or be driven about is just plain dumb. If anything, it tends to reflect badly on the accuser, in that it seems to reveal what they themselves would regard as their price for selling out. Anyone now still impressed by a Merc would want to be pretty simple.Originally Posted by Cael
Fact is, government is about compromise, and I'd rather have Gormley in there rather than another FF minister who are ideologically risk-averse. Let's be honest, 20 years from now, there's a far better chance they'll be talking about John Gormley than they will a gang of us shooting the breeze of Politics.ie
Centre right Liberal. Paddy Ashdown with an aircraft carrier.
Theres compromise and there's throwing most of your core policies out the window as soon as Fianna Fail wave the keys to a Prius in front of you.Originally Posted by Shepherd
Whats the point of Gormley being in there when the Green programme for Government has been thoroughly gutted.
The Greens won't be implementing anything 'risky' in government, Bertie made sure of that back in June '07.
Breathing new life into Fianna Fáil is like breathing new life into the Black and Tans.
have the green being advocated clean coal 'technology' yet
